RECTOR

The Rev. Canon Ken Wagner-Pizza, Rector & Provost

Ken Wagner-Pizza began his ministry with Trinity Church in September 2008.

Ken grew up between Philadelphia and Allentown, graduating from Pennridge High School in Perkasie, PA. After high school he attended Mansfield University and then Elizabethtown College where he earned a B.S. in Biology.  He then worked for seven years at Merck & Co., in the vaccine division.

A career change was in order when Ken felt a strengthening call toward ordained ministry. He was ordained as a deacon and then as a priest in the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Pennsylvania (Greater Philadelphia Area) in 2003. To prepare for this leadership role he attended The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia and received a Master's in Divinity from the Virginia (Episcopal) Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia.

Ken loves ministering to the people of God by "proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus by word and deed." He says, "It is a privilege to see and nurture the love of God growing in all ages" and he has worked with children, youth, families, and the elderly. He looks forward to many years of shared ministry at Trinity Episcopal Church. 

Ken is married to Becky who grew up in Oriole, PA, in the Nippenose Valley. They have two boys named Zachary and Alex. They enjoy gardening, traveling, movies, hiking, swimming and of course growing together as a family.
